this is the coolest website ever. it lets you track the popularity of all names since 1900s in a very interactive manner.

Unfortunately it looks like Roy is no longer very popular.

Roy: Derived from Gaelic ruadh meaning "red". A notable bearer was Rob Roy, a Scottish outlaw of the 18th century. ( http://www.behindthename.com )

I've also heard it's derived from the Spanish/French derivations for the word "King." (roi in french, and rey in spanish, i believe)

either way, i am an OUTLAW. A THUG LIFE!
